It doesn’t quite feel like two years have passed since the Paris Olympics drew to a close. But with Los Angeles now gearing up to welcome the world in 2028, fans planning a trip to the next Games just might have a very LA way of avoiding one of the city’s most notorious problems: traffic – and lots of it.
The Californian city is set to develop its first “vertiport”, which is a dedicated takeoff and landing site for electric air taxis. Spearheaded by sports entertainment giant AEG and Archer Aviation, the site will be hosted in L.A. Live, a four-million-square-foot sports and entertainment district in downtown Los Angeles.
And for visitors faced with navigating one of the world’s busiest cities during one of the world’s biggest sporting events, the appeal is obvious: fly over the traffic rather than… just sit in it.
